"It seems that the questions are tailored to avoid any problem areas. We had trouble with the temp indicator and the dealer was never able to fix that. We had trouble with the AC unit and the dealer made it work by replacing the evaporator but then in 16 more trips to the dealer, they never were able to stop it from leaking on the carpet. Dealer service was poor and emergency repair needs had to be taken to other than the dealer.
The engine is bad about jumping timing on the cam shaft caused by the belt slipping. There has not yet been a successful fix for that even though it is known that the idler wheel arm bearing is rusting. There are others
